Logica wins £21m contract at Britannia Airways

Computer systems and software house Logica has won a £21 million contract from Britannia Airways to manage all its day-to-day computer operations.

The seven-year contract, which supports computer applications for Britannia including finance, human resources, engineering and flight scheduling, sees 34 members of Britannia's IT staff transferring to Logica.

Britannia business systems director Andy Reynolds said: 'We have been working with Logica for a year now and they have proved themselves 'best of breed' in terms of applications management.'

Steve Burnett of Logica said: 'Britannia Airways are a successful organisation in a highly competitive market. They needed an organisation to provide high-quality service both now and to meet future business needs.'

Britannia, owned by Thomson Travel, is the world's largest charter airline, and last year carried 10 million passengers to more than 100 holiday destinations.
